Here's 5:
1) Napoleon Dynamite cost $400,000 to make. And it grossed $158.6 million. Also Jon Heder was only offered $1,000 for the role of Napoleon.
2) Steve Jobs is on the board of directors at Apple Inc and the Walt Disney Company.
3) 50 years ago, instant noodles went on sale for the first time. In that same year, Michael Jackson was born and the first parking meters are installed in Britain.
4) 0.00024% of all graduation seniors have scored a 36 on the ACT.
5) ESRB gets paid between $2,000 and $3,000 for every game they rate.
Well that was exciting.

5 more to please you, you big jerk:
1) Contrary to popular belief, opossums, squirrels, chipmunks, and mice do not carry rabies.
2) Over 10,000 birds a year die from smashing into windows.
3) There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats.
4) More than 20 million meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere every day.
5) You share your birthday with at least 9 other million people in the world.

I fail to see what you're trying to say.
I think that Chess Club may be bolded, but I can't tell.
If that's the case, then you got something against CHESS? Hmmm?
